Hi,

I'm kinda new to FireFox, but I'm looking for a SIMPLE to use extension
that'll let me create custom Toolbar buttons (to run some external
program or go to a URL). I've already checked out "Customizable Toolbar
Buttons", but it's not very easy to use. I'm looking for something more
along the lines of Add-A-Button for IE:

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

External Application Buttons 0.7.2 works with Firefox 1.0.7:

Install and restart Firefox.
Go to "View > Toolbars > Customize..."
Find "Applications" and drag onto your toolbar.
Right-click where you dragged to, select "New Button...", and follow
your nose.

Second that recommendation, it works beautifully from here.

Thanks guys - works great for adding external app buttons. I had come
across External Application Buttons in my travels, but for some reason
I didn't think it was compatible w/ v1.0.7 so I didn't download and try
it.

Now if I could just find an easy way to add buttons to go to a specific
URL. I tried forcing External Application Buttons to point to an
existing internet shortcut, but it doesn't work.

Again, any info will be MUCH appreciated.

Huh? Why don't you use the bookmarks toolbar for this?

Thanks a lot, Hendrick - that's perfect! As I said previously, I'm new
to FireFox so please excuse my ignorance. I had assumed that the
"Bookmarks" toolbar would display all my Bookmarks or something.

I also discovered that I can move any External Application Buttons I've
created (see previous posts) onto the Bookmarks toolbar. That's exactly
what I was trying to do: create a secondary toolbar just for
frequently-used URL's & apps. Here's a screen grab of my toolbars (of
course I'll be adding more URL's & apps as needed):
